Six Realms Immortal Emperor

That was twenty years ago, during the last great war between immortals and demons. At that time, He Chengtian was just a true disciple. The immortal and demonic paths, eight sects and ten schools, had a total of several thousand elite disciples and tens of thousands of inner disciples. It can be said that all the best and brightest were sent out, and countless people died or were injured.

Both paths suffered heavy losses at the time; not to mention the personnel losses, this directly led to the complete fall of several sects in both the immortal and demonic paths.

The original ten immortal sects have become the seven immortal sects, and the eight demonic sects have been reduced to four.

The Brahma Sect had ten true disciples at the time, but after the war between immortals and demons, only He Chengtian remained, which shows how fierce the battle was back then.

Lu Baichuan pondered for a moment, then analyzed, "Could the resurgence of the Demonic Sect be related to the Qingyuan Treasure Vault again?"

Gao Changfeng remained skeptical, retorting, "The Qingyuan Treasure Vault? It's all the talk of it among the major immortal sects these days; I doubt it's true."

He Chengtian said with some concern, "I've also heard about the Qingyuan Treasure Vault. Whether it's true or not, it's best if our Brahma Sect doesn't get involved. What worries me is that if this war between immortals and demons really comes, the Brahma Sect might not be able to stay out of it. We need to be prepared for the worst. I'm going into seclusion for a while to try and break through to the Core Formation stage. I'll leave everything inside and outside the sect to you two."

He Chengtian was able to become the sect leader not only because his cultivation surpassed that of others, but also because he was quick-witted, good at analysis, and had an extremely accurate grasp and prediction of the situation.

Lu Baichuan said, "Sect Leader, rest assured. Just focus on your cultivation. I and Protector Gao will take care of the sect's affairs. If you can form your Golden Core this time, you will be able to maintain your advantage in this great calamity."

In the last great war between immortals and demons, almost all the older generation of heroes perished, and the remaining disciples were not highly skilled. Even the current top-ranked immortal sect, the Dao Seeking Sect, only has a sect leader at the mid-stage of the Core Formation realm. If He Chengtian can successfully form his Golden Core this time, the overall strength of the Brahma Sect will increase significantly.

He Chengtian nodded, let out a long sigh, and said, "What's coming will come eventually. If Gan Shaohong makes any unusual moves while I'm in seclusion, you can act first and report later."

Lu Baichuan was the first to declare, "Don't worry, Sect Leader, I will continue to keep an eye on Gan Shaohong. If I find out he is involved in this matter, I will not hesitate to eliminate this scourge for the sect." What he hated most was colluding with the demonic sect and betraying the sect.

He Chengtian cast his gaze into the distance, pointing to the thousands of outer disciples reflected in the mirror, and continued, "Over the past twenty years, the Brahma Sect has gradually recovered from its decline, which has been incredibly difficult. In any case, we must preserve the sect's outstanding disciples. Don't underestimate those outer disciples; after the great calamity, they will be the foundation of the Brahma Sect."

Lu Baichuan nodded and replied, "The sect leader is right. I will do everything I can to protect these outer disciples, especially those geniuses. I will definitely give them special protection."

Upon hearing this, Gao Chengfeng gave a slight snort and said arrogantly, "Leave the sect's affairs to us. Sect Leader, you can focus on your cultivation!"

Afterwards, He Chengtian bid farewell to his two protectors and went into seclusion to cultivate. No matter what the two protectors said, he still seemed worried, constantly thinking that the Supreme Elder had been traveling for many years and hoped that he could return soon.

Xu Jingtian, far away in the valley, never imagined that he, as an outer disciple, was being targeted by two groups at the same time. The background of either group was enough to shock him: one was the force led by the true disciple Gan Shaohong, and the other was the force led by the left and right protectors.

The trial results have finally been determined, and all the outer disciples have received some sect rewards, more or less.

At this moment, Xu Jingtian's mind was neither on the envious gazes of the crowd nor on the sect's generous rewards, but rather on one person on the field.

Qu Feixiong, having come in second place in the trial, naturally received a generous reward and was extremely excited. As he walked, he admired the mid-grade magic weapon that had been awarded to him. He hadn't gone far when someone stopped him.

He tried to turn back, but there were people behind him. Xu Jingtian and Lu Yikuang, one in front and one behind, were not going to let him escape so easily.

Xu Jingtian and his two companions were already the center of attention, and now they were gathered together, seemingly arguing. The outer disciples, of course, wouldn't miss the opportunity to watch the spectacle, and the crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger.

"Did the three of them argue about their trial rankings?"

"Who knows? Anyway, it'll be interesting, so why not watch?"

The outer disciples, who were watching the spectacle, surrounded the three of them, layer upon layer.

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Qu Feixiong said provocatively, "Oh, isn't this Xu Jingtian, the first place winner in the trial? Why are you blocking my way so blatantly? What do you want?" He knew perfectly well why the two of them wanted to see him, but since everyone was watching, he was confident that they wouldn't do anything out of line, so he was extremely arrogant.

Lu Yikuang behind him said in an icy voice, "Qu Feixiong, you're dead!"

Qu Feixiong forced an ugly smile as he turned around and said, "Is that so? When did Lu Yikuang, who always goes his own way, become someone else's lackey? Hahaha." Seeing that many disciples had gathered around him, he became even more unrestrained.

Lu Yikuang spat at him and retorted, "Hmph, no matter what, I, Lu Yikuang, would never attack someone from behind. You are utterly shameless."

"Ah, Qu Feixiong attacked from behind?"

"Yes, I never would have guessed. They're so despicable."

The disciples watching from all around started pointing and gossiping about Qu Feixiong.

Qu Feixiong felt a little guilty, so he turned to Xu Jingtian and said, "What do you want? You don't think you're so great just because you got first place this time, and you want to challenge me, do you?"

Qu Feixiong was one of the most renowned outer disciples, and his strength was certainly extraordinary, giving him reason to be arrogant. He naturally wouldn't take the unknown Xu Jingtian seriously.

Xu Jingtian took two steps forward, stared intently at Qu Feixiong, and then said, "Don't think that just because you're famous, I won't dare to mess with you. In my eyes, you're nothing, not even as good as a dog. At least a dog knows how to repay kindness."

Xu Jingtian scolded him in front of many disciples, and Qu Feixiong's expression immediately changed, becoming extremely ugly.

"Fine! Xu Jingtian, you've got guts!" Qu Feixiong was extremely angry. "If you have the guts, let's meet at Feiye Gorge."

"Where is Feiye Gorge?" Since entering the Brahma Sect, Xu Jingtian had been staying in the Wandan Pavilion and was not familiar with some things, so he had not heard of Feiye Gorge.

"Ah, Tono Gorge!"

"Anyone who enters Feiye Gorge will face a life-or-death duel; they are determined to fight to the death."

More and more disciples gathered around to watch, some of whom were shocked upon hearing the name of Feiye Gorge. These disciples had initially thought that the conflict between them was just a minor one, but who knew that it would turn into a life-or-death struggle.

To maintain order within the sect, the Brahma Sect forbids all disciples from engaging in private duels. If disciples truly harbor irreconcilable hatred and must settle a life-or-death conflict, Feiye Gorge is the only place to do so.

Therefore, any disciple who enters Feiye Gorge is essentially signing the Book of Life and Death; their fate is predetermined, and no one can stop them.
